Research from Glasgow University has identified 15 ways to reduce the risk of thermal attacks on login security. Thermal attacks use thermal imaging cameras to guess a user's PIN or password. The research found that two-thirds of passwords up to 16 characters could be cracked using this method. The recommendations to mitigate thermal attack risks include wearing gloves, changing hand temperature, pressing hands against surfaces, and using biometric security. It is advised to pay attention to surroundings when entering sensitive data in public and to use multi-factor authentication.
